Now that I look at it, you've said that £90k plus benefits only costs the employer £84k in reality, which doesn't seem right to me at all.
Work out what it costs to pay you, plus the benefits etc. Every day you take off costs the company £360 (90k divided by 251 working days), so if they give you ten days holiday plus the public hoidays then that already costs £3600.
Ignore the tax that they pay when you are working out the costs of employment - start with the 90k plus 11k NI plus holiday plus 5% pension plus 2% bonus etc etc and the costs of your employment add up pretty quickly.
Ultimately you just need to work out what you are comfortable earning rather than comparing it to what you earn each day as a contractor who pays for all the benefits and days off yourself. Finally, if you have kids and are getting child benefit then you can kiss goodbye to that once you're on 60k.
